While some larger prime contractors have adapted quickly, officials said, they warned that lower-tier companies with less slack in their workforces remain vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System had several major tests and evaluations scheduled, including a long-awaited limited-user test, or LUT. However, Army Futures Command chief Gen. Mike Murray said in a call with reporters that the testing schedule \u201cwill slide a little bit, but we will be on time\u201d for the program\u2019s other milestone decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am very confident we will get the LUT done this summer or early fall,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is in the third year of an ambitious modernization overhaul, which depends in part on \u201csoldier touchpoints,\u201d or user evaluations of new equipment. The modernization efforts are now in question as commanders apply physical distancing measures to protect their soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a touchpoint at Fort Riley, Kansas, for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/04\/09\/first-candidate-for-armys-future-tactical-unmanned-aircraft-gets-first-soldier-operated-flight\/\" target=_blank>future replacement<\/a> of the RQ-7 Shadow unmanned aircraft system is going ahead, but the commander at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, decided to postpone one there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether wider program delays are coming, \u201cwe\u2019re still watching very closely, and what I am very much focused on is there may be some slips in key decisions and soldier touchpoints,\u201d Murray said. \u201cThe current estimate is we will deliver that [UAS] capability to our soldiers by the time we said we would.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army will also push a critical touchpoint for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/04\/08\/soldiers-marines-try-out-new-device-that-puts-mixed-reality-multiple-functions-into-warfighters-hands\/\" target=_blank>Integrated Visual Augmentation System<\/a> from the summer to the fall after Microsoft \u2014 a subcontractor for the prime \u2014 temporarily closed. The device is a set of goggles meant to provide soldiers next-level night and thermal vision as well as enhance navigation and targeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot only for that program but for all our programs, input from the soldiers that were actually asked to use this equipment has been critical,\u201d Murray said. \u201cThat has been impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments came as the Pentagon expects a broader three-month delay for major acquisition programs and speeds progress payments to primes that should trickle to small businesses. Army acquisitions officials have worked to help get second- and third-tier suppliers access to small business loans as well as facilitate cash flow to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe supply chain does have some challenges, and that\u2019s probably where the vast majority of any slips would occur that are tied to individual companies,\u201d said Bruce Jette, the Army\u2019s acquisition chief. \u201cThese companies are small, and if one person gets COVID in the company, the next thing you know you\u2019ve lost 14 days with the company because everybody that didn\u2019t get it is in quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BAE Systems coordinated a temporary closure with the Army and plans to scrap a planned summer break to make up the time. Boeing\u2019s closure in Philadelphia also came and went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s like that down [the] chain for the primes: They tend to be coming back online,\u201d Jette said. \u201cThe ones where we end up with two or three weeks are the ones where we\u2019ve got small individual companies of maybe 20 to 30 people who were suppliers of cables, or connectors and things like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s something there that tends to have a bigger impact or take a little bit longer time. And with them, we try to execute those portions of the program which aren\u2019t dependent upon those components, and then we\u2019ll come back and clean up the battlespace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some big agenda items for the Army don\u2019t appear to have been knocked off balance. For example, the Army is still planning on another flight test of Lockheed Martin\u2019s Precision Strike Munition, or PrSM, by April 30, which will deliver a new long-range precision fires capability to the battlefield. The capability is the Army\u2019s No. 1 modernization priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m confident enough that we\u2019re going to do the next test flight [of] PrSM that I scheduled a military aircraft to go out and see it, so I\u2019m very confident,\u201d Murray said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s latest \u201cnight court\u201d review \u2014 used to divest the service of unneeded programs \u2014 proceeded virtually, as much of the Pentagon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2020\/04\/13\/pentagon-rolls-out-remote-work-environment-in-record-time\/\" target=_blank>shifted to remote work<\/a>. As part of the review, Army leaders recently received the final brief concerning equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of the recommendations are pretty much close to being finalized,\u201d Murray said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army&#8217;s modernization efforts are in question as commanders apply physical distancing measures to
